The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

how long as this group been operating? Dar maa asked gazing at Ninnian closel;y ' Not sure, they've been very secretively, obviously to avoid getting infilrated and caught by the guards. we'll habvve to be very careful to avoid getting notices as we search the sewers.' ninnian said ' he went over to the fireplace and held the black pasper over the flames ' as the heat made contact with the paper red writting appearede on the darkened page..

"They may have been operating before Apep took power if memory serves me" Ashnii stated.

Eric smirked, twirling a sword idly.
"Hmph.  Hard to trust that lot..."
He said softly...

"I agree, it could very well be a trap" John inquired calmly. His hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

"But it may be a risk we'll have to take" Reynard muttered.

We don't have a choice. Nicula said to them. " Obviously they must have some knowledge of our exploiuts to have sent us this letter, perjhaps they thing we could be of some use. See what we're capable of."
 We will need allies if we are to do anything regarding Apep " Dar Maa said. " the last time we tried to do  something by ourselves, it was a failure. a Dismal failure.'
 Well, i'm staying here " sed Nues said " i'm too old to get mixed up in things like this. lets see how many will be going to the docks? Lets see nicula and Dar Maa thats two, John and Ashnii , thats four, Eric and.. Reynard.. thats six.."
 Seven" Ninnian said. I'm coming as wel;l. the letter was given to me at any rate.." Ninniabn saids looking at the clock
 its nearly 10 now, we'd best get going. Heres a spare key Sed, lock up once we leave.." ninnian said handing her a key

(OOC: Nick, let's just call the currency 'Gold', because I'm sure 'Septim' is a bit too obvious.)

"Let's just try not to get ourselves killed" John muttered, pulling up the hood of his cape, hiding his face.

"Wise words" Ashnii remarked.

The streets of Kreun were silent, save for a few guards on patrol.

"The docks, is it. Sounds easy enough, just have to keep a low profile and avoid any imperials" John muttered.

"You sound as if you have experiance in such things" Ashnii remarked.

John let out a soft chuckle.

"Seems that way, after all what would one expect when they're guide is a fox" he said, winking at the khaijiit.


"Personally I wouldn't know what to expect, especially in times like this."  

"Can't say I blame you, these are desperate times. It seems to be like that everywhere, here and back at my homeland."

"If you don't mind me asking, what was it like. Where you came from?"

"Earth, you mean. It was once a thing to behold, very beautious, very radiant. But now there are only a few places there that are anything like that" John explained.

Its very peaceful out Dar Maa said " Its much warmer here than in BRug Orn.. and I'm interested in seeing whewther this groupp means us any harm."
 I doubt they would have sent us the invitation if they were hostile Nicula replied as the headed towards the gates that opened up on the docks,., : If they were histile they would have sent a b rock through the window or a thug top threaten us.. no i this is curiousity on thier part, perhaps to see if we are up to it..
 Ninnian was the first group to see a hodded figure standing on the other side of the docks staring out over the water. ' that must be our contact.. remember, do not say anything just let  him or her guide us.

The hooded figure gave the group a 'follow me' gesture and began to lead the group through a path that lead to a passage which took them beneath the city.

The place seemed almost Labyrinthine and it seemed like anyone trying to infiltrate it would have a tough time getting anywhere.

dar maa cast a light spell which hovered over their heads. nicula gazed at the foigure in front of them, it had a tail, so it was not human, so it was either a khajit or argonian.. the steps echoed with thier footfalls, on and on the figure led them deep under the city. even if the guards wanted to find them, unless they were very resourceful, or lucky, they would never find them.. finally the group stopped before a dark wall

Soon the group found themselves at what seemed to be a dead end. The cloaked figure turned to them and in a raspy voice began to speak:


"If I am to take any of you beyond this point. You must all swear upmost secrecy that you shall never speak of what you are about to see"

We swear it, besides, we're no friends of the prince ourselves. i do have one request though. may we see your face? Dar Maa asked. " I'm curious.. thats all.."
_ We will not speaj of what we see beyond this wall. to do so would beytray your cause and lead to our executiuonsd, as well as yours Nicula said.
 I am very good at keeping secrets Ninnian said " Comes with the territory..

(OOC: Thank you. Although I may not be on as often, I think we can continue the roleplay.)


"So be it" The cloaked figure nodded and revealed his face. It turned out he wasn't a Khaijiit or Argonian at all. The figure resembled a humanoid Panther.

"It can't be, you're a Ra'kaath" Ashnii said in awe.

A subtle smirk creeped onto the guide's face.

"I'm the last of my kind. The others were wiped out by Cernobog and eventually by Apep" he explained.

so, there some of you left then. rakaathh were  a beast race, much like khajit ad  argonians, they wrere diskliked by hhumans and the other races. they were skill traders and magicians, and often sold magic books asand scrolls to wizards. they openly opposed cernobog assuming the throne, and for that, they paid the ultimate price.. Ninniuan said.. gazing at him ' what is your name , rakaath? he asked.
